A grip assembly includes a first grip arm, a base member integrally formed with the first grip arm, a second grip arm movably coupled to and independently positionable relative to the first grip arm and a fastener securing the second grip arm relative to the first grip arm.

Disclosed is a tie down assembly. The tie down assembly having a ring, a bracket assembly, a support insert, and a position-locking mechanism. The support insert is configured to secure the ring relative to the bracket assembly. The ring being configured to rotate relative to the bracket assembly about an axis. The position-locking mechanism is configured to secure the ring at one or more rotational positions about said axis via one or more engagement features. In one example, the position-locking mechanism is a detent mechanism.

Securing systems and methods of securing a transport container to an attachment point. In one embodiment, the securing system includes an actuator, an attachment structure, and an electronic controller. The attachment structure is dimensioned to complement the actuator. The electronic controller is operably coupled to the actuator for attaching and releasing the actuator to the attachment structure.

A novel securing device includes a frame having an anchor, a tether coupled to the anchor, and an attachment device coupled to the frame. The attachment device is configured to facilitate selective attachment to a planar surface. In a particular embodiment, the attachment device is a magnetic attachment device. Optionally, the magnetic attachment device is encased between the frame and a cover that prevents scratching of the planar surface to which the device is secured. In another particular embodiment, the attachment device is a suction cup. The magnetic attachment device and the suction cup may be interchangeable.

A retainer has a base having a first side having an engagement member extending therefrom and a second side. The base comprising a base opening therethrough. A plunger has a body and a flange extending from the body. A lever member has a lever opening therethrough. The lever opening is sized to receive the body. The lever opening is smaller than the flange. A cover is coupled to the base. The cover comprises a first cover opening. The lever member comprises a first end rotatably coupled to the base or the cover or both. The lever has a second end extending through the first cover opening. A spring is disposed between the cover and the plunger. The spring is retractably urging the plunger into the first cover opening and the base opening.

Slinging device with adjustment mechanism which has a separate cam carrier The invention relates to a slinging device (1) with a base part (2) and with a hoop part (6) which is attached to the base part (2) so as to be pivotable relative to the base part (2) about a pivot axis (4) which hoop part serves for the slinging of a slinging, load-securing, tensioning or lifting means (28). The slinging device (1) is equipped with an adjustment mechanism (40) which has at least one hoop deflection cam (46, 46a, 46b) and at least one brake probe (42) which, with the pivoting movement (8) of the hoop part (6) relative to the base part (2), passes across the hoop deflection cam at least in certain sections at at least one deflection position (47, 47a, 47b). The adjustment mechanism generates a deflection force (50) which increases with decreasing distance from the at least one deflection position and which is directed counter to the pivoting movement (8). The deflection force makes it more difficult to move the hoop part (6) into the deflection position. In order to be able to easily and inexpensively adapt the slinging device (1) to different usage requirements, it is provided according to the invention that the hoop deflection cam (46, 46a, 46b) is arranged on a separate cam carrier (44) which is attached to the base part (2) or hoop part (6).

An accessory mounting system is easily coupled to an inner portion of a pick-up bed, thus allowing a user to easily mount and hold equipment. The mounting system includes a number of panels which can be mounted to existing structures within the pick-up box, and which have a pattern of openings to accommodate straps, brackets, tie-downs, and other holding mechanisms.

An accessory attachment system includes a baseplate that provides an attachment interface on a vehicle. The baseplate is configured to engage with an accessory to secure the accessory to the vehicle. The baseplate and the accessory are configured to engage each other through an attachment system having feet that are each received within an apertures when engaged.

A modular cargo management system for a flatbed vehicle includes a flatbed of a vehicle, at least one accessory assembly, and an attachment system that secures the at least one accessory assembly to the flatbed. The attachment system has feet that are each received within an aperture when the accessory assembly is secured to the flatbed.

The tiedown hook is a mechanism that welds an inventive hook to an automobile accessory for tying and untying knots with tiedown to secure objects during transportation. The present invention relates to functional tiedown hook for automobile accessories such as truck racks, trailers, etc. More particularly, the inventive concept of the tiedown hook is beneficial since tiedown need to be carefully secured when vehicle is moving.
